Avengers co-writer Jim Zub is taking over an unspecified Marvel ongoing title this April. Zub, who previously wrote Thunderbolts and Uncanny Avengers, mentioned the new project in passing in a "Year In Review" blogpost.

"On the creative front, I made deeper strides at Marvel, wrapping up Uncanny Avengers and plugging away on Avengers: No Surrender, a special weekly story line that starts January 10th, co-written by industry superstars Mark Waid and Al Ewing, with art by Pepe Larraz, Kim Jacinto, and Paco Medina, with editors Tom Brevoort and Alanna Smith keeping the whole thing running smooth. It’s the biggest project of my career so far and, with the extra attention being shown to the Avengers leading up to the May release of the Avengers: Infinity War movie, I’m hoping No Surrender does well with new fans and old. Beyond that, I have a new monthly Marvel series I’m taking over in April that should be announced soon. Exciting times!"

Marvel's full April 2018 solicitations are anticipated to be revealed on January 22, but individual title announcements could come sooner.

The weekly Avengers: No Surrender storyline is scheduled to run through April 25.
